    Whole House DVR Clarification

    Exactly - the wiring was run back in 2001 or so when 2 wires off the dish was common I went up on the roof and the LNB says SWM on it, so I think I am set there - the installer's job should be easy ;-)

    Thanks for the help, guys - I called last night and ordered the new receivers. I decided to actually add to TV's, going from 1 to 3 with a Genie, a mini and the 24. Now I want to make sure I have the correct wiring in place so the installer does not have to hack apart my house ;-) Followup...

    Whole House DVR Clarification

    Yeah I did a quick search and can buy one right now for $170 if I had to - not necessarily a deal breaker but I'll take my chances and see what they send for free first. How does that work, though? If you have an HR34 and buy a HR44, to they make you de-activate the 34 when you activate the 44?

    Chip - thanks for the confirmation. texasbrit - I have been reading about that issue and had hoped that all the 34's were gone by now. I guess not...

    Whole House DVR Clarification

    Hi Guys, I currently have 1 TV with an HR24-500 and want to add a second TV in the basement AND upgrade to a Genie system. I have read SEVERAL threads here that advise people to keep their HR24 vs. going to the Genie Minis. I like this approach as it gives me extra tuners and does not force me...

    Free Genie Upgrade?

    Hi All, I've had DirecTV service for 2.5 years now and have the pre-Genie receiver. I have read on here of some people getting free Genie upgrades - is there some secret phrase you have to say on the phone with customer service to get this? I have not called to inquire on upgrade pricing yet...

    Costco Rebate - How does it arrive?

    I signed up for DirecTV last week using the Costco web site in order to get the $180 rebate. So has anybody actually received the rebate? How long did it take and was there a way to check on it? I am a little concerned because I have received nothing from Costco on this - is that typical? The...

    Fees to Change Programming

    Thanks, Chip. DISH charged a fee once when I dropped the premium channels that came 'free' with the package - even though it was before the end of the free time. It appears to be impossible to NOT take these 'freebies' on the web site but as long as I can drop them later it's all good. Rob

    Fees to Change Programming

    I am switching back to DirecTV and am assembling my package and have questions about fees they may charge in the future when I try to remove the "free" offers they include. Does DirecTV charge a fee to change programming to remove premium channels, Sunday Ticket or to change base packages? The...
